It had been days since the news broke that former President Donald Trump had been found guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money trial. And finally, his wife, former First Lady Melania Trump, was spotted leaving Trump Tower for the first time since the verdict was announced. Accompanied by her son Barron and what seemed like an endless amount of luggage, Melania was caught by the paparazzi making her way to a Secret Service SUV.
According to the New York Post, Melania was dressed in a stunning brown-gold jumpsuit, accessorized with a matching purse and sunglasses. Her 18-year-old son, Barron, followed closely behind, dressed in a dark blue suit and white shirt. The two of them got into the vehicle, with Melania keeping her head down, and were driven away.
Throughout the six-week trial, neither Melania nor Barron had made an appearance at Manhattan Criminal Court with their husband and father. They also did not show up on Friday morning when Trump gave a speech at Trump Tower, criticizing the New York judge in charge of the trial. Trump even admitted that it was a "bad thing" for him and expressed that he wished people had more empathy for him.
Melania has remained silent throughout the trial and its aftermath. Her husband, however, has given updates on how she has been handling the situation. In an interview with Fox & Friends Weekend, he mentioned that it was tough for her to read all the negative media coverage. He also acknowledged that it was harder for his family than it was for him personally.
The trial revolved around a $130,000 hush payment that Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign. Daniels, who was the star witness in the trial, revealed that Trump was not thinking about Melania when he tried to stop the story from being published. She also offered some advice to Melania, stating that she should leave her husband because he is now a convicted felon.
But despite the drama surrounding the trial, it seemed that Melania and Barron were headed to their family's estate and golf course in New Jersey. The Secret Service vehicle that left Trump Tower was spotted at the property later that day. And as for Melania, she continues to remain silent, while her husband deals with the consequences of his actions.
